Addy’s POVI threw on some clothes and came barreling out of the room. Aaron looks panicked as he looks over at me behind Brax’s shoulder. Brax turns towards me, with anger in his eyes. I know its not directed at me, but a shiver still runs down my spine.“What do we know?” I ask as I walk up beside Brax.“You are going to go to the safe room and stay there until this over. Tristan is already leading the front lines. We…”“I’m sorry, What!?” I cut him off. I didn’t give a shit at this moment if he was my mate or my alpha. Right now, he was just being a jerk. “Addy, you can’t be out there.” I could see the tension in his body, and we were wasting time standing here talking.“The hell I can’t!” I start walking pass them both out into the hallway. There was no way he was going to stop me. I was one of our top warriors before I got my wolf, now having her, I was even stronger. I had only taken a few strides down the hallway when I was lifted into the air and thrown over a shoul
Braxton’s POVI stand there looking at the door, listening to her yell at me, “Braxton! Don’t you dare!” I put my hand on the door and whisper to her, “I love you, Moon.” I turn back towards the door to see Aaron standing there with his arms crossed. “You know she is going to kill you right?”I grunt at him as I stride past him. “I don’t have a choice; this is the only way to protect her. We have to protect her at all costs.” “Never said I didn’t agree with protecting her, but she is going to kill you. If we don’t die before that.” He shrugs at me as we step onto the back patio of the packhouse. The decorations are still up from Addy’s party, I was about to mate and mark her before this, now it’s all been taken away. My anger intensifies as I think about how these scum of the earth rouges interrupted my first night with my mate. “She will get over it.” I growl as I pull my shirt off and drop my pants to shift, not fully convinced I will get over what has been taken away from
HurtAddy’s POV“Addy, Tristan was hurt. He is in surgery…” I didn’t even let him finish his words before I pushed past him and started running towards the hospital. My mind was in a complete frenzy as I took off down the stairs and out the back door. I was still scared to know about Braxton and the girls. Praying everyone was alright, but right now, I had to get to my brother. Right as I ran through the back door, I run directly into a hard chest. I stumbled back a few steps, as large arms wrapped around me. I looked up into Braxton’s eyes. My fear immediately changed into anger, before I could even think about what I was doing. I took a step back, out of his arms, and I flung my arm connecting a sharp slap to his cheek. “You are an asshole.” I didn’t wait for a response, before turning on my heels and heading straight to the hospital. I had to get to my brother. He had to be okay. He just had to be. I couldn’t lose him too.I got the hospital quickly, and as soon as I
Addy’s POV “Addy run to the packhouse and get to the lockdown room.” My dad yells at me as we are running out of our house. It’s midnight and our pack is under attack from rouges. “Dad no, I can’t leave you.” “Addy I am not asking; I command you to go.” I watch as my dad turns back around and runs into the fight. I haven’t shifted yet, so I can’t fight. I start running towards the packhouse when I am cut off by a rouge. My dad suddenly tackles the rouge down and rips his throat out. I look around and see more rouges starting to come towards us. He gets between me and the rouges, several other warriors build a barrier between the rouges and me. My dad turns to yell at Gamma Blake, “Take the Luna to the packhouse NOW!” I look around looking for Luna Maria and I don’t see her, suddenly I feel Gamma Blake throw me over his shoulder and carry me to the packhouse. Why is Gamma Blake carrying me, Dad said to take the Luna? I look back up over Gamma Blakes shoulder and see m
Tristan’s POV I had just reached the training grounds where the pre shifters were stretching. I looked around but I didn’t see Addy. I know she does private lessons with Gamma Blake, and I see him walking out of the weight room. “Gamma Blake, where is Addy?” “I sent her home. She spent the morning beating up my girlfriend.” I chuckled when he said that. We always joked growing up that the punching bag was his girlfriend because he would spend so much time training with it. The joke stuck and he just went with it. “Tristan, you need to keep an eye on her. It hasn’t hit her yet. She is trying to ignore it and not let it sink in. It is going to hit her like a fallen tree when she finally lets the pain settle.” He says has he puts his hand on my shoulder. “She’s worried about you, you know.” “Why is she worried about me? That’s not her job.” I look over at him shocked. “You know how she is; she always worries about everyone else before she thinks about herself.” I look
Braxton’s POV Tristan and I leave dads office after a long meeting on some of the preparations on the transitions of pack leadership. We both head towards my office in silence. I have been looking forward to this day since I was a young pup. I know Tristan has too, but now, with his father gone, I know it’s bittersweet. It’s been a rough week after his dad passing. Tristan hasn’t said much, but I can tell it’s hit him hard. I am sure it has hit Addy hard too. I have always been super protective over her. I always tell Tristan it’s because she’s like a little sister, but honestly, I have always had a crush on her. I can’t say that or feel that way though. She is off limits as Tristan’s little sister. I haven’t dated around seriously, but I have had sex with some she wolves. It was purely sex though; I have never dated one exclusively. I want to wait for my mate to make it serious. My wolf Blaze has never been a fan of me being with other she wolves, he always told me I ne
Addy’s POV I can’t believe Braxton had the nerve to try to pull, I am your future alpha crap on me. He can be such a jerk at times. I grabbed the baskets Luna Maria had left for me in the kitchen and loaded them up in my car. I drove home so I could get started on the grief baskets. As I entered the house, I was still so angry at Braxton. I felt bad for what I said to Tristan, and I know I need to apologize to him, but Braxton. I should have knocked his teeth out. I don’t know why I let him bother me so much, well I know why. I have had the biggest crush on Braxton for as long as I can remember. It’s not like I would ever act on it. I promised I would never date or do anything with anyone until I find my mate. I turn 18 next month. I will finally get my wolf and maybe I will find my mate. I don’t care as much about the mate part yet, but I am super excited about meeting my wolf. I have dreamed of this my whole life. I just wish my mom and dad were there for me as well,
Braxton’s POV I am sitting in my office trying to get work done, but my thoughts keep wondering off. My wolf Blake won’t even talk to me right now. I know I shouldn’t be fooling around with Baylee, she isn’t my mate, but I just needed comfort and she was there. Knock Knock “Come in” Tristan comes in and slumps into the sofa, he looks a little better than earlier today after the argument with Addy, but I can still see the pain across his face. I know the death of his father has been hard on him. It’s been hard on all of us. My parents maybe the leaders of the pack, but his parents, they were the glue. Everyone loved his dad and mom; they were like second parents to me. I know when we lost his mom 5 years ago it was rough, but his dad helped pull him and Addy through. Now, it’s just him and Addy. “I’m not going to ask how you are doing, because I know the answer by how shitty you look. You want to talk?” “Which part? The part where I am trying to figure out how to grieve
